Li Yuen Street East and West (Fashion)

In a city of contrasts, the colour and vibrancy of the Asian street market thrives even in the centre of the financial district, where space is money and shopping mostly means marbled floors and air-conditioned air.

Li Yuen Street East and Li Yuen Street West, sometimes simplified as ‘the lanes of Central’, are a jam-packed jumble of clothing and accessory items, many of which have distinctive Oriental flavours. From ready-to-wear to factory outlet, tailored garments, leather and silk; the world of the ancient bazaar somehow refuses to budge from the modern downtown.
